These traces are likely to remain from this "sketch with shadows", because it is very sloppy and yes, sometimes I erase the excess with an eraser. In any case, I'm very uncomfortable in these situations. I will try to correct them by yours or in some other way in future works.
Ok, that seems a likely explanation.
But still, you could either use layer masks to paint in shadows precisely, or you could make a selection of the complete building (the house, the ground texture and all the trees etc.) and work from there. To make such a selection copy all visible layers and reduce them to one (but make sure to keep all the other layers!), then by ctrl-clicking the layer preview, you will select all visible pixels. Then you could make a new blank layer and paint the shadows there. The selection would keep you from painting anywhere outside the building, even if you use a broad "sloppy" brush first. If the blinking line bothers you while doing it, you could hide it (not deactivating it) by hitting ctrl+h.
